Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]hen a defendant lets it be known that he wishes to discharge his court-appointed counsel, the trial court should inquire of the defendant as to his reason for requesting discharge. If incompetency of counsel is given as a reason, the trial court should then make further inquiry to determine whether there is reasonable cause to support the allegation. If reasonable cause appears, the court should appoint substitute counsel; if no reasonable cause appears, the court should then advise the defendant that if he insists on discharging his original counsel, the State may not be required to appoint a substitute.”

Where incompetency of counsel is not the stated basis for the defendant's motion to discharge, the trial court is not required to conduct a full inquiry as set out in Nelson.”
